I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart (Rome, GA) in Jul 2009
Interview
The interview starts after they call you in by pulling your application. The application usually only gets pulled if you know someone that works there and they automatically give you a good word because walmart gets 1000 of applications a day. They usually give you two interviews one with your direct manager and one with the store manager. They send you for a drug screen if you pass they offer you the job.
Interview questions [1]

There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
Solid and very well informative process. It was straightforward and well put together. I really enjoyed the people that I interacted with and ultimately chose another route due to time constraints.
